Before releasing their joint album Too Good To Be True, Rick Ross and Meek Mill pulled up on Zane Lowe at Apple Music 1 to discuss the album. Rick Ross called the album unpredictable.

“This the culture,” Ross said. “It’s too good to be true and man, it just feel good, and it was too easy. We set it off. We both know what our true gifts are, our talents are when it comes to production. So when it came to this vibe, it was really simple. It didn’t take a lot of time, but we brought the best out of each other. This was just personal.”

He added, “This was just me and Meek and that was just us in the studio. It wasn’t a lot of people, just the team, the private team. Meek, his team, my team, Sam Sneak, Brion, the producers, and we kept it uncut. We went straight to the vein with it. “

Meek Mill also added notes on the album, “When we get in the studio, that shitt gets serious. Ross getting into serious mode. He trying to knock that shit out and get to work. And you know me, he giving me that gas.

“I’m going to run jumping out that window a hundred miles an hour. But we joke all the time. You’re going to see a lot of that throughout the content and all that. And it’s organic too, Zane. We came up with this idea and we got around each other, built, vibed out and then got in the studio. It don’t matter where we’re recording at, we could be in the closet, Rose going to get this shit done.”

Rick Ross Recalled A Terrifying Moment When His Ankle Monitor Went Off In Front Of Obama

Rick Ross has had quite a career. Two decades in, and he’s made quite a few memories. During a special episode of Complex’s 360 With Speedy, Rozay recalled some of his most vivid memories, including a 2016 visit to the White House.

At the time of the visit, Ross was on house arrest and was wearing an ankle monitor, and the monitor happened to go off while Ross was in the White House. When the alarm chimed, then-President Barack Obama, along with the White House staff, were startled.

“The Secret Service started moving because everybody gave away they phones — all electronics had to be given up,” Ross said. “So when something started making a noise, you saw all the people in the back and I’m like, ‘Damn.’ And then it finally went off and then Obama had to say something. I ain’t gonna repeat it out of respect for Obama though.”

The interview took place shortly before Meek Mill and Ross’ long-awaited joint album, Too Good To Be True, which drops this week.

You can catch Ross recalling the memory in the clip above, slightly past the 17-minute mark.

Rick Ross Welcomes His Neighbors Speaking Against His Car Show: 'I Never Got Nothing Easy'

On Rick Ross‘ Rather You Than Me album, Rozay has a single called “Apple of My Eye,” which he gave a message to Meek Mill.

I told Meek, “I wouldn’t trust Nicki
Instead of beefin’ with your dog, you just give ’em some distance”

– Rick Ross on “Apple of My Eye”

Speaking with Complex, Ross said it was due to the differences between Meek and Drake at the time. With Nicki Minaj being on the same label as The Boy, it was a reasonable statement.

You can hear Rozay detail the bar below.

Rick Ross “Doubts” 50 Cent Beef Is Squashable: “Everything [He] Does Sucks”

by

We’re always happy to see rappers putting their differences aside in favour of squashing any drama coming between them, but it seems that may never be the case for Rick Ross and 50 Cent. The former has been doing plenty of press this fall, and in interviews with both Complex and Rolling Stone, the former correctional officer had few positive things to say about his contemporary. While sitting down with Speedy Mormon, Rozay said he “doubts” we’ll see him Fif develop a working relationship.

Meek Mill was also a part of the sitdown. He revealed that Ross predicted he and Champagne Papi would patch up their feud in a matter of years, which was proven true. “I knew what space he was in, and I knew where Drake was at,” the proud owner of the Promise Land recalled. Seeing as Rozay is Richer Than [He] Ever Been, both he and his Philadelphia-bred friend feel as though patching things up with Curtis Jackson at this point isn’t a worthwhile investment. “I ain’t got no jobs for him,” the Biggest Boss quipped.

Rick Ross Has No Plans to Squash 50 Cent Feud

Elsewhere, Ross told Rolling Stone his hot take that “everything 50 [Cent] does sucks.” The multi-talent said, “At least he got a movie done about him. He took advantage of the system. But oh, my God, please! Who wants to see a movie about 50?!” while discussing the failed carer of director Jim Sheridan following 2005’s Get Rich or Die Tryin’. However, Rick did note that The Game’s “Hate It Or Love It” includes a verse from Jackson that he’s particularly fond of.

As Rozay continues to berate 50 Cent over their long-standing beef, the New Yorker has been letting his sentimental side shine on social media. To begin his week, Fif shared a throwback photo from when he first began fostering his passion for music. He continues to show immense growth since then, no matter what critics like Rick Ross have to say. Read more about that at the link below, and check back later for more hip-hop/pop culture news updates.

Rick Ross and Meek Mill have put their differences behind them (if there ever really were any), and announced their first joint album, Too Good To Be True. While fans hadn’t seen much of them together since the pandemic — what with social distancing and rumors buzzing on social media that they weren’t on the best terms — it appears that of the members of Maybach Music Group, their bond remains the strongest.

Fans expect them to show just how strong that bond is on Too Good To Be True (with maybe a full MMG reunion involving Wale), which comes out this Friday. Here’s everything we know about the album so far:

Release Date

Too Good To Be True is out 11/10 via Maybach Music Group / Gamma. It’ll be the first release under MMG’s partnership with the new music startup, which launched earlier this year and is currently offering Snoop Dogg vinyl on its website.

Tracklist

The tracklist has yet to be released, but this post will be updated when it is.

Features

Features on the album are also TBA; however, Ross previously hinted that Wale could appear, provided his schedule allows while recording his own album for Def Jam. “It’s a good chance,” Ross intimated during an interview with The Morning Hustle. “You know how we get down.”

Singles

So far, Ross and Meek have released two singles promoting their joint album: “Shaq & Kobe” and “Lyrical Eazy.”

Meek Mill Explains The Time He Asked Jay-Z For His Roc-A-Fella Chain

by

Plenty of rappers have entertaining stories about their interactions with other, more famous MCs. While it can sometimes go very poorly for some and even potentially start beef, other times it results in funny or even heartwarming stories. A story Meek Mill shared recently lands somewhere in between the two. The rapper, who would eventually become a Roc Nation signee, has a hilarious memory of interacting with Jay-Z early in his career.

“I seen Hov 0ne day — I’m bold as a m*thaf*cka too. He had that Roc chain on one day. I was thinking about it all day. Should I ask him?” Meek recalls during a discussion with Complex. Surprisingly, it worked perfectly for him. “I was like, ‘Yo man, can I get that Roc chain right there? I said I could buy one but it ain’t the same if I buy that sh*t, I need this actual artifact from you. He took it off and gave me that sh*t so shout-out to Jigga man for that official Roc piece.” Check out the full interview clip below.

Meek Mill Just Asked Jay-Z For His Chain

Meek Mill has a new album coming later this week. It’s a full length collaboration with Rick Ross called Too Good To Be True. They’ve already dropped two singles from the album. First came “Shaq & Kobe” back in September and then last month they released the second single “Lyrical Eazy.” Doubling down on the NBA theme of their songs they recruited both Shaq and Damian Lillard to provide guest verses for a remix of “Shaq & Kobe” last week.

They’ve also been teasing potential features on the project, including a MMG reunion. That would mean that Wale was involved, which is seeming increasingly likely the more times they bring it up as a tease. Despite that tease and Meek promising an upcoming Drake collab, they haven’t officially shared the tracklist or features from their new album yet. What do you think of Meek Mill’s story about just asking Jay-Z for his chain? Let us know in the comment section below.
